Wonderful place to host friends and family
We spent 2 weeks at the villa and loved every minute of it. The accommodations were perfect for multiple friends and family to enjoy with their own space, and the pool made the warmer days just a memory. Dolceacqua and surrounding villages were magical and friendly. Just enough to explore before heading back to the villa to enjoy an al fresco dinner while enjoying the amazing views. Access to the the coastal towns was an easy drive and we enjoyed several days on the beautiful Ligurian Sea. Many thanks to our hosts Ria and Vincenzo for an easy visit and accommodating every need.

Amazing house in gorgeous place
Our stay in this house could not have been better in any way. The house itself is fantastic, having all the appointments one needs to live very well. The pool is beautiful and well-maintained with a gorgeous waterfall and plenty of deck chairs, and towels. We could not get enough of the view, being able to look in one direction, and see the Ligurian Sea, and in the other, the Maritime Alps. The check in process and check out process were both seamless, and Ria and Vincenzo were the perfect hosts. In short, this stay exceeded all our expectations, and we have every hope of returning!

Outstanding views
About 10 minutes from Dolceaqua and high in the hills above it, this home had everything my family (all adults) was looking for - beautiful finishes and decor, outstanding views and plenty of different areas to lounge, eat, and just enjoy the surroundings. The bedrooms were comfortable, the pool was clean and inviting and the caretakers, Ria and her husband, made us feel very welcome. We enjoyed hiking the hills above the villa, touring Dolceaqua, and especially the very amazing espresso machine. We appreciated being met at the IP gas station in Camporesso and being led up the hills the first time, but had no trouble with the drive after that. We loved the absolute privacy at the villa.

Dolceacqua Hill-side Heaven
This tranquil hillside property is fantastic to relax and wollow in the beauty of the Italian countryside. The track to the house is challenging but once you have navigated the widing road the beauty and quality of the property just astounds on many levels. The location is ideally placed for trips to Nice, Monaco, Menton & San Remo which are all within an hour drive from the property. I would definitely recomend the property to anyone looking for a fantastic Italian retreat.

Gorgeous Dream Getaway
We celebrated my 60th birthday with a group of friends at this lovely house with breathtaking views and all the comforts of home. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all excellent! We spent the days in Dolceacqua or France and Liguria at the sea, sampling the local wines, lunching in small villages and back to the house in time to enjoy the sun, the pool and the property. We cooked dinner in the well equipped kitchen every evening and ate outside under the stars. Ria and Vincenzo, the homes caretakers, were wonderful and full of information about the house and the area. One evening, we were very lucky to have been able to hire Vincenzo to be our chef for a celebratory dinner. Course after course of amazing home made Italian recipes continued though the evening. Ria, alongside Vincenzo, made this night AMAZING for us and our guests. In just one night, they already felt like family :) For anyone who is looking to get away from all the hustle and bustle and overrun tourist areas, then this is the place for you! A slice of paradise on the hilltop. We hope to return in the near future to create more wonderful memories and to enjoy the house, the area and peace............... Sue & Peter - New York City

Erholsamer Urlaub in Top-Villa
Wir verbrachten als Familie mit Freunden und Hund eine sehr erholsame und entspannte Woche in der "Casa de la Poeta". Das Haus ist topmodern und bestens ausgestattet, ebenso die Außenanlagen und das Pool. Mehrere Sitzbereiche laden zum Verweilen ein und ermöglichen auch jedem ein privates Rückzugsgebiet. Etwas mühsam ist nur die Anreise über eine abenteuerliche Schotterstraße - die tägliche Fahrt in den Ort überlegt man sich eher..... Alles in allem ein Urlaubsdomizil das uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen ist.

Calm villa with wonderful view
We (two families with 4 adults and 6 children) enjoyed a great week at the villa. Highlights were: the pool had different sections and was very clean, the villa had a big kitchen, several bathrooms and we liked the way the house was decorated. The view was stunning. Ria was always available and a perfect host. Thank you very much.
